Benches and Beams

Benches and Beams form an important and integral part of physical development equipment in any school.  Not only do benches add a useful seating space for assemblies or gatherings, but they also serve a dual purpose.  When turned upside down you have a handy balance beam.

Today we are thrilled to offer many variants on a traditional balance beam.  We have beams which incorporate additional challenges such as blocks and domes to add more impact.  We also carry balance ladders.  For younger children we have traditional balance beams which are a wonderful resource for learning how to control your movements.

Balance is important in any child’s development.  As a child learns to control their balance their confidence improves.  They will feel a sense of achievement and pride as they manoeuvre to the opposite side of the beam or bench. Moreover, there are also links with improved problem solving and cognitive function as your youngsters become more proficient.  They have to consider and think about the best way to tackle the problem of transitioning across the obstacle.

Our wide range of beams and benches presents you with a myriad of choices of how to challenge and stretch your youngsters.
